Making an intercom call The intercom is used to call another person on your MERLIN system. When you call someone on the intercom, that person will hear you, even if they’re busy on a call, because intercom announcements come out of a separate speaker. You may give the other person a brief message, such as announcing a call, or you may ask them to pick up and talk to you. Every phone in your MERLIN system has a unique intercom code number.
Transferring a call To transfer a call to someone else in your system, you must first place it on hold by touching the HOLD button. Then, call the person you’re transferring the call to by touching an INTERCOM button and dialing that person’s intercom code number. When you hear the beep, announce the call and hang up. At this point, the green light next to the line with the call you’re transferring should be flashing rapidly.
OPTIONS COMPATIBLE WITH STANDARD FEATURES You can expand the usefulness of your MERLIN system by adding optional equipment such as: Loudspeaker paging If your MERLIN Control Unit is equipped with a Paging Cartridge, you can page other persons no matter where they are in your office. To do this your business needs to be equipped with a loudspeaker paging system. You use Loudspeaker Paging by touching INTERCOM and then dialing “6”.
